00:00:00.000 Do you think body positivity is a good thing?
00:00:02.780 Yes or no?
00:00:04.060 Starting here and then go around.
00:00:05.780 Absolutely.
00:00:06.360 I think body positivity benefits everyone.
00:00:09.780 And it's an individual thing that you have to cultivate within self.
00:00:13.020 And it manifests for other people to perceive positive win-win all around.
00:00:17.080 All right.
00:00:17.340 What do you think?
00:00:18.000 I definitely agree.
00:00:19.100 And I think that you need to be comfortable within your own body as well.
00:00:25.040 And if you can be positive and love yourself,
00:00:28.200 then you can, you know, accept everybody else as well.
00:00:32.000 Okay.
00:00:34.040 I think it's a good thing maybe in a way.
00:00:36.600 But then if you maybe look at the health side,
00:00:41.340 then maybe sometimes body positivity might not be such a good thing.
00:00:45.520 Okay.
00:00:45.740 So what do you mean by that?
00:00:48.780 Just, you know, I think that being body confident,
00:00:54.780 you know, you can come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes.
00:00:57.600 But if you're at a point where you might be at risk of certain health issues,
00:01:03.940 then you have to bear that in mind.
00:01:06.540 That's the subject that also needs to be incorporated into that.
00:01:10.400 Okay.
00:01:10.780 What do you think?
00:01:11.480 I think the word body positivity can be used quite loosely.
00:01:16.120 I think there's a lot behind it.
00:01:18.220 I think it's really about becoming a better version of yourself.
00:01:21.880 And through that, there are many channels.
00:01:23.860 So I do believe in it and I believe it's important for self-love.
00:01:30.200 Okay.
00:01:31.660 Is body positivity a good thing?
00:01:33.860 Well, I mean, when I look at body positivity,
00:01:35.720 I just see a bunch of marketing directors getting together and be like,
00:01:38.380 how can we trick people into over-consuming and label it as something nice?
00:01:44.720 So I'm a big proponent of having good mental health.
00:01:49.360 And I think that you can't have good mental health if you're sitting around
00:01:53.700 thinking of yourself in a negative way.
00:01:56.340 And definitely in regards to your body, right?
00:01:58.460 You can't sit there all day looking in the mirror and being like, 0.99
00:02:02.140 I'm disgusting. 0.93
00:02:03.120 I'm this, I'm that. 0.96
00:02:04.940 Because that's just going to wreak havoc on your psychological health.
00:02:08.340 However, I also do believe that it is up to us individuals
00:02:12.080 because there are certain biological components of life that are irrefutably true
00:02:16.200 in regards to maintaining a healthy body weight.
00:02:19.200 And I think that in my personal opinion,
00:02:22.140 everybody should strive to be as best as possible.
00:02:25.120 a life of self-improvement and being physically fit
00:02:28.500 is one of many components of that.
00:02:30.820 But I don't think,
00:02:31.820 I think the body positivity thing is not this nice thing
00:02:36.580 that they're putting it out to be.
00:02:37.780 I think there's a nefarious agenda behind it,
00:02:39.980 which is just like, yeah, over-consume.
00:02:42.000 Yeah, you can do whatever you want.
00:02:43.380 This kind of YOLO lifestyle.
00:02:45.040 But people are starting to wake up to the fact that like,
00:02:47.860 especially with the recent, you know,
00:02:49.280 situation that happened in 2020 that we can't even talk about
00:02:52.020 without getting trouble here on YouTube.
00:02:53.780 But I think a lot of people became more health conscious about that
00:02:57.360 at that time.
00:02:58.720 So I think, you know, these corporations,
00:03:01.400 corporations and governments,
00:03:03.020 they never have your best interests at heart.
00:03:06.120 It's always in their interest.
00:03:09.060 And their interest is more power and more control directly over you.
00:03:13.520 So when I hear body positivity, like I get it.
00:03:16.040 You shouldn't hate yourself.
00:03:17.680 Like men have body positivity issues. 0.86
00:03:19.800 Like men, men, women, they both look at them.
00:03:21.500 They're like, they want to be better than they are.
00:03:23.320 And it's a struggle as a human.
00:03:25.120 But I do think that overall, the body positivity movement,
00:03:29.120 I think on the surface level, it looks good.
00:03:31.760 But I think behind it, it's not what they're saying it is.
00:03:35.720 That's my short answer.
00:03:36.780 The subject body positivity is actually really personal to me
00:03:42.220 because I'm someone who I always like to treat people nicely
00:03:48.280 and I treat people well.
00:03:51.040 And my size, unfortunately, always like people would just be rude to me
00:03:57.180 or disrespect me.
00:03:58.900 I am 21 stones now.
00:04:01.640 The biggest I've been is 28 stones.
00:04:04.820 And I've had loads of like things happen to me in my life.
00:04:10.660 So body positivity for me is just accepting the way you look,
00:04:18.880 the way we were made.
00:04:21.400 And that's how I see body positivity.
00:04:25.160 Now, people have different definitions.
00:04:27.800 Some people think body positivity is changing your body,
00:04:32.260 which is fine changing your body.
00:04:34.120 But some people think that then, like, basically,
00:04:38.160 they express how they're unhappy with their body, which is fine.
00:04:42.020 But then they say they're body positive by changing their bodies.
00:04:46.360 But for me, it's just really, literally accepting yourself,
00:04:50.440 looking yourself in the mirror and saying, this is who I am.
00:04:53.020 This is how I've been made.
00:04:54.300 This is how people have seen me my whole life.
00:04:57.480 And if they've been seeing me my whole life like this,
00:05:00.540 I should just accept me.
00:05:02.260 And, yeah, I'm body positive.
00:05:04.720 Okay.
00:05:05.180 So I'm just raise of hands.
00:05:06.600 Overall body positivity, good thing.
00:05:08.500 Raise your hand.
00:05:09.860 Overall good thing.
00:05:10.940 Like more good than bad.
00:05:12.700 She's like half. 0.86
00:05:14.120 Okay.
00:05:14.640 So I think body positivity is a horrible thing.
00:05:17.860 I think it's trying to normalize bad habits.
00:05:20.480 And I don't think it's a good thing for society.
00:05:22.920 So I want to know why you guys disagree with that.
00:05:27.500 Because personally, I just don't think,
00:05:29.620 I don't think we would put a crack addict on the cover of a magazine.
00:05:34.240 And in the United States, obesity is the number one killer.
00:05:37.300 And I just don't think it's a good thing that we are normalizing bad habits.
00:05:40.360 That's my opinion on it.
00:05:41.240 It's the number one killer of pets too.
00:05:43.080 You know that?
00:05:43.760 No way.
00:05:44.980 Yep.
00:05:45.280 It's the number one reason animals die in America is from obesity. 0.70
00:05:48.560 But, yeah, you guys, yeah, go ahead.
00:05:50.920 Pearl, I see where you're coming from.
00:05:54.560 I really do.
00:05:55.880 And it's sad.
00:05:56.900 And with most things, everything does become about money.
00:06:00.740 For example, I'll give you a perfect example.
00:06:03.860 Plus size women. 0.99
00:06:05.520 It's booming.
00:06:07.340 All the plus size influencers are getting funding.
00:06:11.940 Or they're being invested in.
00:06:14.000 But with plus size men, there's been clothes that are being sold for big men.
00:06:18.740 But the models are small.
00:06:19.940 So, again, for...
00:06:21.440 I have a friend who did that where she, like, they put on, made her wear, like, a fat suit 0.93
00:06:26.140 where she was actually smaller and they made her bigger. 0.95
00:06:28.280 Yeah, they do.
00:06:29.020 What?
00:06:29.520 So, for that reason, I see exactly where Pearl is coming from.
00:06:33.660 Because it upsets me that it has become a money-making thing.
00:06:37.840 A kind of a trend to kind of get in the views and get in that.
00:06:42.300 But for people who actually have had issues, and with me, Pearl, honestly,
00:06:47.000 I will share my story one day, but I can't share it.
00:06:49.460 Like, until I reach my goals and all the things I want to do.
00:06:53.760 And I think what he is saying is spot on.
00:06:56.200 Like, they're ready to roll out the red carpet for women. 1.00
00:06:58.960 Yeah.
00:06:59.440 But really, it kind of, again, goes back to, like, that kind of nefarious agenda of making money.
00:07:05.980 Yeah.
00:07:06.360 You know, because they're catering to women. 1.00
00:07:08.020 Because, like, who can name some plus size models right now? 0.99
00:07:13.660 Like, Tess Holliday, for example, a huge name, right?
00:07:16.440 Can any of you name a male plus size model?
00:07:18.600 My friend, James Corbyn, he's a supermodel.
00:07:21.740 But James Corbyn is not exclusively known for being an oversized model.
00:07:27.020 Yes, he's been in vogue.
00:07:28.260 No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:28.940 But he's known mainly for being a talk show host.
00:07:32.240 No, James Corbyn is a...
00:07:34.340 Corbyn James.
00:07:36.080 If it's James Corbyn, Corbyn James.
00:07:37.300 But he's a plus size model. 0.99
00:07:40.100 He's from London.
00:07:41.720 And he's someone who just...
00:07:43.940 Wait, are you talking about the talk show host, James Corbyn, the guy who was in the flight scandal recently?
00:07:49.440 No.
00:07:49.860 That's James Corden.
00:07:50.320 So basically, there's a plus size model from the UK called James Corbyn.
00:08:01.780 And he talks about body positivity.
00:08:04.820 And he's making a difference for the plus size community.
00:08:08.420 And he's not promoting obesity.
00:08:10.580 I don't promote obesity.
00:08:12.380 I tell people, try and stick to natural foods.
00:08:15.580 Because you may be big.
00:08:16.840 But at least if you're big, you're going to have goodness in you.
00:08:19.340 You're going to have a lot of, like, strength.
00:08:22.220 And yeah, because some people's bodies are just the way they are.
00:08:25.600 Pearl, you don't know, girl.
00:08:27.040 I juice.
00:08:28.220 I even have a Ninja Creamy.
00:08:30.040 Like, I make my own lime, grapes, like, all these things.
00:08:33.120 I actually care about my health.
00:08:34.720 But my size, I'm telling you, like, I'm also...
00:08:38.020 Would you do?
00:08:38.820 Like, I just don't...
00:08:40.560 That doesn't make sense to me.
00:08:42.080 Like, I think if you did, like, a training plan with me for a week, you would lose weight.
00:08:46.760 But I really do.
00:08:48.460 Like, I think you would.
00:08:49.240 So, that's the thing.
00:08:51.560 Because I have medical issues as well.
00:08:53.880 I can't really openly speak about it.
00:08:55.000 But I have stuff like gout flares up, that flares my hands up and all that.
00:09:01.040 So, there's always an obstacle that comes in front.
00:09:04.880 But all my life, I've battled.
00:09:07.080 I've always said good food and get out, exercise, never be that reason.
00:09:13.320 Don't ever let anyone give you that reason to say you're fat and you're lazy.
00:09:17.620 Because that's the stereotype that the world has of plus-size people.
